Seems that you cannot put a selection from an image into a separate layer


Recommended Posts

I have an image (ie not pixel and not therefore rasterized).  I selected a part of the image and did a Cntrl + j.  

Affinity Photo did not duplicate the part selected, but instead duplicated the whole image.   The assistant

did not step in and rasterize.  Seems clear that you have to rasterize before you can do what I attempted.

Am I correct please?

Yes. An ‘Image’ layer is treated as a single object: if you want to work at the pixel level, you need to rasterize it first.
